“…Demographics of caregivers of children with TD and of the child with TD, diagnosed comorbid disorders that the child had in addition to TD, caregivers' perceived social support, Springer caregiver strain, and afflicted child's symptom severity were assessed. The MOVES (Gaffney, Sieg, & Hellings, 1994), which assessed symptom severity, was adapted from an existing measure.…”

“…The severity of the symptoms associated with the children's TD was assessed by requesting the caregiver participants to complete the Motor tic, Obsessions and compulsions, Vocal tic Evaluation Survey (MOVES) (Gaffney et al, 1994) about their children either alone or with the help of the child. The original MOVES is a 20-item scale designed to assess for symptoms of TD and can be completed by children as young as 7-years-old through adulthood.…”

“…Symptom severity was quantified by the total score reported by the parent, in possible collaboration with the child with TD, from a modified version of the Motor tic, Obsessions and compulsions, Vocal tic Evaluation Survey (MOVES) (Gaffney et al, 1994). Higher total scores on the modified MOVES indicated greater symptom severity on the day the parent completed the inventory.…”

The research on Tourette's disorder (TD), a neuropsychological disorder consisting of motor and phonic tics, has largely focused on individuals with TD and not on the caregivers of children with TD. We investigated the effects of several variables on caregiver strain of caregivers of children with TD, including perceived social support, caregiver characteristics, and characteristics of the child's disorder. An online survey was completed by 140 caregivers of children with TD between the ages of 6 to 18 years. We performed a path analysis to examine the outcome of caregiver strain in relation to the research variables. Our results indicated that caregiver age, symptom severity of the child's TD, and perceived social support accounted for variance in caregiver strain, and that perceived social support was a partial mediator of child's symptom severity and caregiver strain. Symptom severity and caregiver strain were also related to the presence of other comorbid disorders, such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), anxiety, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when compared to children either having no other comorbid disorders or other types of disorders.

“…The age range of the nine patients was 7-50 years and seven were male. All 11 patients were initially assessed, and histories obtained, using a semi-structured interview, the National Hospital Interview Schedule for Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (NHIS; Robertson and Eapen, 1996) and current initial tic severity was measured using both the physician rated Yale Global Tic Severity Rating Scale [YGTSS], Leckman et al, 1989) and the self-rated MOVES Scale (Gaffney et al, 1994), the latter both before and after treatment with aripiprazole. The lifetime severity symptom scale, rated by a physician, the Diagnostic Confidence Index ([DCI], Robertson et al, 1999), was also employed.…”

“…Fourteen scales have been assessed for tic evaluation [11,28,29,34,40,45,47,49,50,70,[83][84][85]96,97,110,114] (Table 7), and twelve of them, the Global Tics Rating Scale (GTRS), the Hopkins Motor and Vocal Tic Scale (HMVTS), the Motor Tic, Obsessions and Compulsions, Vocal Tic Evaluation Survey (MOVES), the Premonitory Urge for Tics Scale (PUTS), the Shapiro Tourette Syndrome Severity Scale (STSSS), the Tourette's Disorder Scale (TODS), the Tourette Syndrome-Clinical Global Impression (TS-CGI), the Tourette Syndrome Global Scale (TSGS), the Unified Tic Rating Scale (UTRS), the Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome Quality of Life (GTS-QoL) scale, the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and the Diagnostic Confidence Index (DCI), reached the recommendation status [12] (Table 8). We describe below only the rating scales used in the evaluation of motor tics, whereas the GTS-QoL [11] and the DCI [80] focus on health-related quality of life and clinician's confidence in the diagnosis of Tourette syndrome, respectively.…”

Hyperkinetic movement disorders represent a heterogeneous group of disorders in which involuntary movements are the prevalent clinical symptoms. The five main categories of hyperkinetic disorders are tremor, dystonia, tics,myoclonus and drug-induced dyskinesia.The severity of hyperkinetic disorders is assessed by all clinicians when they examine a patient; quantifying the severity also provides a means of studying the natural history of a given disorder and the possible effect of new therapeutic interventions. This means that good rating instruments are required in both everyday practice and experimental settings. Unfortunately, the clinical evaluation of these disorders is complicated by the inherent nature and variability over time of involuntary movements. A number of scales have been proposed over the years to study the various hyperkinetic disorders. The aim of this review is to systematically identify all the clinical scales that have been proposed and to classify them according to the criteria developed by the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) task force for rating scales in Parkinson's disease.On the basis of this methodology, a scale may be defined as 'Recommended', 'Suggested' or 'Listed' in decreasing order of value.We found that, although numerous scales aimed at assessing hyperkinetic disorders have been published, their variability in terms of clinimetric properties, availability and effort required to administer them is high. In this evaluation, we identified scales defined as 'Recommended' for the assessment of all forms of hyperkinetic disorders. The situation highlighted by our analysis varies considerably, with several 'Recommended' scales being available for some conditions such as tics or dystonia, but only one being available for myoclonus. This gap needs to be filled by the scientific community through both the development of new clinical tools and there finement of existing ones.
